The unit of measurement for plastering work is usually square meters (m²). Plasterers typically measure the area to be plastered to calculate the amount of plaster and other materials required for the job.
Plastering a room will be more expensive than the squarer meters you need to cover. On average, a small room plaster might range from £400 to £700, a medium-sized room from £600 to £900, and a large room from £800 to £1500+.
The construction industry's ongoing requirement has kept plastering in high demand. IBIS World predicts that the size of the plastering market will grow by 6.7% in 2023.
In the UK, plasterers do not need to be licensed. Still, they may need to be registered with a professional body, such as the Federation of Plastering and Drywall Contractors, to ensure they meet specific standards of artistry and professionalism.
